The Chairman submitted the loyal toasts, !w!hich were cluly honoured. THE ANNUAL REPORT. The Secretary (Mr E. P. Morris) read the an- jwial report, which was as follows:— In presenting the fifth annual report I regret he (Lab cannot be -congratulated very much 5rom a playing point of view. Lhe olub has suffered considerably from the departure of Aorae reny good players. At the commencement of tihe season 0. Briggs went out to South 'Africa, and from a letter received he has joined a good club in Johannesburg, so perhaps we i tnay in the near future see htm visiting these chores as a representative of South Africa. My colleague. C. L. Fairlese, who was of very grea-t help both as a secretary and a player, was removed to Belper. The Rev. M. E. AfLban hav- ing accepted a living near Dolgelley, we lost his valuable services. The olub has suffered by these losses, but we can oniy wish them every success in their ivevw espheres of labour. Other players who were with us last season have retired whilst several others •were stricken with the golf fever very badly, but from what we have heard we think that some of them will return to their old love, and if wo could prevail upon some of the players to come out of their retirement, we ougiht to be able to give a 'better account of oumelves in the coming season, as we have a promise of some new recruits. The great difficulty is in raising a team to go away, and if the players generally (were a little more enthusiastic this ought not to exist. Our captain, George Field, gave us a good lead, although he was not ab'.io to play very re- gularly. He was alby supported by Mr Edward Jones, who devoted a great deal of his time to the welfare of the olub. During the season, which, as you all know, fwas not a very good one as far as weather was concerned, we played 21 matches, of which aix "were won, ten lost, and five drawn. The bat- ing and bowling do not come up to our uauaA -standard, but the following are some of the lead- ing averages:— BATTING. No. of Times Most inn. not out. Runs. in inn. Av. G Field 8 1 280 70x 40 A Halstead 11 2 179 78x 19.8 C. N. Jones 15 1 273 62 18.3 J- Smitn 11 2 121 28 13.4 12 3 107 41 1.18 F. F0.J4- 10 nil 96 24 9.6 E. Jones 9 nil -83 26 9.2 x Not out. BOWLING. W. E. Jones: 222 runs, 22 wkts., average 10.2 V. S. Ellis: 361 runs, 31 wkts., average 11.30. Ellis is a young player who promises to turn out a good bowler, but who, we are sorry, will not be available next season. The other bowlers took less than 10 wickets, so it is quite evident where our weak spot is. We have a splendid batting side and if we oould attain a good fast bowler we could hold our own with any team. No centuries were scored during the season, but the outstanding instance was the first wicket stand of the captain and C. N. Jones against Mostyn, when the aveilable runs to gain a vie- tory were obtaine9 in record time and without either of them losing their wicket, G. Field being 70 not out and C. N. Jones 47 not out. The performance roused great enthusiasm, and was worth going a long way to see. Needless to say, Mostyn had their revenge on the return fixture. Two of our players played for the county during the season, viz., W. E. Jones and C. N. Jones, and gave a good account of themselves. County cricket generally suffered owing-igi the bad weather, and Carnarvonshire's weakness generally. AN INTERESTING PROPOSAL. There is a proposal to join Merionethshire with our county, which may result in the team being strengthened considerably by next season. The hon. treasurer will speak on his depart- ment, but we cannot refrain from again re- fering to the valuable help received from the vice-presidents, who are the mainstay of the club, as far as being able to meet our financial liabilities. At the commencement of the season the Pre- sident (Lord Mostyn) kindly met a deputation of the committee, when his lordship kindly pro- mised to carry out certain improvements in the pavilion and on the ground, and we have rea- son to believe these will be carried out before the coming season. The ground is second to none in North Wales, and it is to our advantage as a club and to the town generally that it be kept in good condition. The committee have met periodically, and are deserving of the club's thanks for watching over the interests of the club. The press have again taken a keen interest in our matches, and in addition to being advertised in our weekly papers, the daily papers have also recorded our scores. We desire to convey our appreciation of the kindness of the directors and secretary of the Llandudno Pier Company for again granting permission to post notices of the matches at the entrance to the Pavilion. It has been the means of attracting visitors to the ground, and bringing the club under the notice of cricketers who come down on a visit, also to the Town Improvement Association for inserting notices in the weekly programme. We also thauk Mr A. C. Burgess, of the N.P. Bank, for kindly au- diting the accounts of the club; Mr J. R. Evans for acting as an efficient scorer, and Mr W. B. Briggs for the gift of a new flag. We are looking forward to a more successful season next year, and with a little better luck in away matches and more enthusiasm on the part of the players, who ought to come down to practice oftener, there is no reason why the club should not be equal to what it was in its palmy days. On the motion of Dr. Lockhart Muir. Be- conded by Mr J. Adey Wells, J.P., the report Was adopted. THE FINANCIAL POSITION. Mr Ilowell Jones (the treasurer), in presenting the balance-sheet, which showed a balance in hand of j629 16s 6d, as compared with J350 8s 4d for last year, said the receipts were less than the previous year, but the expenses had been reduced by about L15. Upon the proposition of Mr W. Hamer, se- conded by Councillor A. G. Rogers, the report was adopted. LORD MOSTYN RE-ELECTED. Upon the proposition of Mr R. S. Chamberlain, seconded by Councillor A. G. Rogers, Lord Mostyn was unanimously re-elected president of the club for the ensuing year. His Lordship, in thanking the members for --electing him, said it would give him great pleasure to act as their president for another year. Upon tho proposition of Mr Geo. Field, all the jtice-president8 were re-elected. THE NEW CAPTAIN- Mr Geo- Fifiki' proposed that Mr Edward ^•ories, of Deganwy. be appointed captain for 1 ensuing season. As Mr Jones had taken a interest in the club, and was always able accompany the team when they played y his leadership would certainly be a great a.. age. ■Wn k Howtfll Jones seconded the proposition, ion was carried unanimously. Dnd Pon t. proposition of Mr Geo. Field, see- n o( u)" Councillor A. G. Rogers. M,r C. N. was vice-oaptain. V Howell Jones was re-elected treasurer, lttr E- P. Morris as secretary. j THE COMMITTEE. The following were appointed in addition to the above to constitute the oommitte.e for the yea.r -CouncilJor A. G. Rogers, Rev. W. E. Jones, Messrs A. Hahstead, Goo. Field, and A. D. T. Marks. THE TOAST LIST. Business being over the t.oast list was pro- ceeded with. SUCCESS TO THE CLUB. Lord Mostyn., in proposing "Success to the Llandudno Cricket Club," said he rojoioed to see such a very representative fathering of lovors of cricket present. At their lt dinner he believed the number present was 45, but it 'de was considerably more than that this year, which showed what a deal of interest was taken in the good old game of cricket (applause). He was an old cricketer himself, and' had only given it up two years previously, but he was story to say that he also suffered from that disease known as the goilt fever (laughter). However, he did not see why a man who play- ed golif should give up cricket—(hear, hear) and he maintained that it was a great advan- tage even to a cricketer to learn golf. He was sorry to hear that last season had not been quite so suocossful as the season before. They had rather a small number of players- Instead ci 22 playing members in a large town like Lland'udno was, they should have at least a hundred. Did they give sufficient encourage- ment to young men to join the club? They had a very efficient captain, and he rejoiced to know that one of their captain's best scores was made on his (Lord Mostyn's) ground. He sin- cerely hoped that some efl'ort would be made to bring in the younger element. Personally, he should like to see two elevens at Llanciludiiio .a first and a second elevemo as to encour- age the young players (applause)- Referring to the cricket ground, Lord Mostyn said they had every reason to feel proud of their ground, which was one of, if not the best in North Wales (applause). In conclusion, his lordship said he was glad to leann that Merionethshire were likely to join the Carnarvonshire team in oounty cricket, and his most earnest wish with regard' to the Llandudno Club was "may it continue to flourish" (applause). SELDOM BEATEN ON THEIR OWN GROUND. Mr George Field, in responding on belhalf of the Llandudno Cricket Club, said they all felt deeply indebted to Lord Mostyn for presiding over their dinner that night, which showed tha keen interest lie took in the welfare of the Llandudtno Cltub (applause). The vear of 1907 had been one of the worst for cricket he could remember owing to the unfavourable weather. Their record at Llandudno was not a bad one- In fact it was very seldom that they were beat- en on their own ground (applause)- They wanted more young players, but in these day3 of so many other attractions, tihat was the ory everywhere. The only way in which he thought the difficulty oould be overcome was that fathers told1 their (sons that they must play cricket (laughter and applause). He quite agreed that the ground at Llandudno was second to none in Nortih Wales—(hear, hear),— but cricket matches were not enough to en- courage visitors to the ground- He thought it would be a good thing if tennis tournaments and other competitions were arranged there. For a time the team had lost the services of Dr. Muir, but it was to be hoped tihat the Doctor would' again oome to their assistance, and that Lord Mostyn would play goilf in winter, and stiok to cricket in summer Uaughter and ap- plause)- PLAIN TALK BY MR CHAMBERLAIN. Mr R. S. Chamberlain next gave the toast of the President, and said that probably Lord Mostyn and himself were the oldest supporters of cricket in the room that might- Tihey had just heard a very doleful account of cricket, but he was going to speak plainly. He knew of several young cricketers in the town who at one time belonged to the club, and when he asked them why they discontinued their mem- bership the reply made was that there was a clique in the present club, and tha.t they were not wanted excepting to do leather hunting for the older members. Tihat was perthaps an exagerration, continued Mr Chamberlain, but at the same time he found that there was some- thing in it- When matches of minor import- ance were played young men were kept with- out an innings at all. If the committee asked him he would give the names of young men who would jolin the club when they felt that they would be received in a sportsmanlike spirit {heajr. hear). Referring to county criokot, Mr Chamberlain said thay could not have good oounty cricket in North Wales without suitable frrounds- With regard to the suggestion of promoting tennis tournaments, he thought there was a difficulty in the way because Llandudno had at present a tennis tournament which was third on the list in the kingdom. The committee should do all in their power to get young blood into the cricket team or the club would be dead in an- other three yeart6* It was not many years pince they had one oil the finest oounty teams in England at Llandudno—a team tihat was fit to play against any second eleven of the English counties (applause). NO CAUSE FOR PESSIMISM Lord Mostyn, in responding, said lie endtonsed all that had been said about cricket by Mr Chamberlain. He remembered when first class (beams visited Llandudno, what little interest was taken in the events by the general public. Mr Field had alludbd to tennis tournaments, but he (Lord Mostyn) agreed with Mr Chamber- lain that they were big things to tackle, and it was no use having a tennis tournament un- less it was a big one. He was pleased to see some members of the Bowling Club pre&ont that nliighit supporting cricket. In running the ground from the estate they tried to do what they oould for all parties. Tlhey had to con- sider the Bowling. Club, and the schools. Ef they gave the younger generation a good gnoutid they would soon become grounded ia cricket—(applause),—and he hoped that next season many young cricketers would be seen an the Llandudno Club (applause). Thev musv. not be pessimistic about this report, for last year was a very bad year all-round for cricket (ap- plause). THE VICE-PRESIDENT- Mr A. G. Rogers, who next -ave the toast of the Vice-President, said they all knew Mt Chamberlain ao a courteous and' generous neighbour, who always supported every move- ment that was for the interest of Llandudno, and aliso as one of the best supporters of aU fine old English sports, especially the game of cricket (applause). Mr Chamberlain, in responding to the toast, said it was true he loved every kind of sport. Sporit of all kind tended to bring out the best in a man if there was any "best" in him at all a(applauee). THE VISITORS. Rev. W. E. Jones, in submMting the toast of the visitors ,coupled the names of the Rec- tor of Llandudno and Mr Samuel Chantroy (chairman of the Llandudno Urban District Council- The Rector, in responding, said he had many things in common with Mr Chantrey, especially perhaps, their interest in the visitors to Llan- dudno. Mr Chantrey was interested in them one way, and he was in another way (laughter). He was glad to tell them that the visitors to Llandudno were improving (hear, near). Last year some visitors had appealed1 to him for as- sistance to return to their homes, but he was glad to say tihat he had had no such appeals this year (hear, hear, and laughter). During the past season they had had many distinguished visitors amongst them, but the -I.t thing was to try and convert visitors into re- sidtentis- Proceeding, the Rector said manly sport formed a nucleus for the benefit Oe the community, out of which no- thing but good' could result- Fewer games in the evening and more in the day time was what was required to raise the standard of the ris- ing generation. He wished every nrcsiperiby to tho Cricket Club at Llandudno a(applause)- Mr Chantrey also briefly responded to the toast. Mr Geo- Field gave the toast of the secretary, to which Mr E. P. Morris responded- Mr Howe 11 Jones proposed1 the Press, which was responded to by Mr W. T. Brocklehurst. During the evening the followerlp- contributed to a most enjoyable musical programme: Messrs Denbigh Cooper, J. R- Hug-hep (Llandudno Junction), W. Brcrwin, Arthur Dunphy, Samuel Hewitt, and W- Roberts-

When Mr Farrington, the engineer, ent-ered the room, he was greeted wiilh hearty appauec, this being his first public appearance fci.noe his recent illness. Mr Geo. Bevan proposed that t.he Board pass a resolution congratulating their Engineer upon his recovery, and express t,ile hope that he would have good health to carry out the important works upon which the Board were embarking. Mr Joseph Dicken, in seconding tho proposi- tion. said that they all rejoiced to see Mr Far- ington with them again, and he desired also to con.gratutate him upon having such a.n able assistant as his son. Mr A. G. Rogerc and Mr John WiKiams sup- ported the motion, which was carried unani- mously. Mr Farriimgton, in acknowledging, said he was now improving every day. When his illness began, his eon, Mr C. F. Farrington, had given up his appointment under the Nottingham Cor- poration, and had now entered into partner- ship with himself, and proposed to associate with the work of the Cowlyd Board (applause). INCREASING THE BOARD'S POWERS. Mr Chamberlain laid before the Board a copy of the notice of the Bill which they are preoanting to Parliament next Seasion for the purpose of increasing the powers of the Board with respect to their water rights. Upon the advice of Mr Chamberlain, Mr Wil- liam Daviee proposed that a special meeting bo called to consider the new Bill, and it was car- ried, ENGINEER'S REPORT. The Engineer, in his report, stated that the rainfall at Oowlyd Lake in October was 11.50 ,indhes. as oompared with 13.60 inches in the cor- responding month of last year, beng a decrease of 2.10 inches. The rainfall during this year up to the end of October was 52.30 inches, against 70.40 inches for the like period last year, being a decrease of 18.10 inches. The lake was below overflow level fo.r the first portion of the month, the lowest being 11 inches on the 10th. During the latter part of the month the lake was over- flowing, the maximum overflow bong 5 inches on the 17th. Rain feU on 18 days, as compared with 22 days in the corresponding month last j'oar. The average daily quan-tity of water regis- tered by the water meters during the month of October was 843,600 gallons, against 853,900 gall- Ions for the corresponding period last year. LLANDUDNO WANT PROTECTION. Mr E. P. Stephenson, engineer to the Llam- dudno Urban District Council, had written en- quiring, as the new main of the Cowlyd Board would be laid alongside one or other of the Llan- dudno Council's mains, through Talycafn and Glan Conway, what provisions wouid be made for. the prevention of damage to the Council's maIllS ? Mr Farrington replied that the special atten- tion of all contractors was being directed to the fact that the Council have a main laid on each sidie of the ;roads referred to. and that in carry- ing out the contract every precaution and care would be taken to avert any damage to the Council's pipes. ROUTE OF THE NEW MAIN. Before proceeding to open the tenders for the new main from Dolgarrog to Sarn Mynach, Mr Farrinigtotn. in reply to Mr Geo. Bevan, made a statement as to the route along which the new main is to be laid. He said that the scheme he devised in 1903 had been adhered to, with the exception of two important changes. Instead of laying the pipe in the bed of the River Conway above Talycafn, where it was proposed to cross the stream, it would be laid in a culvert, so that it might be got at for repairs at any time. The second change was to add a pipe from Dolgar- rog up the wooda to the top of the cliff, and a tsecond pressure-relieving tank. At present there was only one pipe down the cliff, and if anything occurred to it there would be a serious break in the water supply, and the dupli- cation of that pipe and pressure-relieving tank would be an important safeguard. The work wsais to be oompleted by July 1st next. THE TENDERS. Tenders for the new main from Dolgarrog to Sarn Mynach wore opened, and were as to fol- lows Albert R. Clarke, Fishguard. £ 43.959 14s.

THE AFFAIRS OF A LLANFAIRFECHAN…
THE AFFAIRS OF A LLANFAIRFECHAN PAINTER. APPLICATION TO COUNTY COURT JUDGE. At the Bangor County Court, on Monday, Mr Sam Lewis (Messrs S. R. Dew and Co.) referred to the action brought by Mr Parry, a Llanfair- fechan painter, against Mr Palmer a Birming- liam accountant, with regard to the trusteeship of Parry's estate. Mr Lewis mentioned that in delivering judg- ment against Palmer, the Judge said he could not order the deed to be cancelled (as was asked), but ho ordered it to be handed over to tho Regis- trar, together with £ 94, until a receiver was (appointed, and his honour also removed Palmer from the trusteeship of the estate. His present application was that the Registrar should be ap- pointed receiver. The action camo before the Divisional Court a. few days ago, but it was struck out. The Judge said he l-Aid no objection to that course if the Registrar was agreeable. He be- lieved that the amount in court would suffice to pay the creditors. Mr Lewis: Yes, subject to the costs. The Judge: Of oourse it is trust money, and the question now is how far the costs can be recovered from the defendant. Mr Lewis: The plaintiff brought this case for- ward in the interests of his creditors, and he has succeeded in getting JB94 for thorn. The Judge: I shall not. order this money to be paid out in costs until I have ascertained what steps are being taken to recovor costs from the defendants. Mr Lewis: If we can get costs from him we will obtain them. The Judge: I will allow the matter to stand over to see what is being done to recover the oosts. If you get the costs from the defendant tho money in hand can be distributed among the oreditors.

There wore four gila&wts oil a tray, and four people in the room. The bar was closed, so he asked Mr Sarson if he was staying in the hotel, to which he replied that, lie was mot. The other two men said they wore staying in the hotel, but Mr Sanson lc.it at 12 o'clock. In croas-examination Lv Mir Bone, witness said lie was not aware that Mr Sa-raon and the other men nad been playing in the lower bil- liard .room up to 11 o'clock. No one suggested anything about Mr Sarson being a guest at the Ihotel that night- 3 In rep'ly to Mr Marksl witness said he did .hear something next morning about Mr Sarson being a guept, but not on the night he was found there. P-C- Lewis sta.ted that he also had seen Mr Samson enter the hotei at 10.55 p.m. on October 30th. Mr H. E. Bone, addressing the Bcnch for the deifenoe, said he was instructed that Mr Sanson was playing billiards in tho lower room of the hotel with the other two gentlemen, who askftd him to be their guest, and afterwards they want up to the room above. Mr Sarson had not attempted to disguise the matter in any way; he told the police stmight-:orw;a.rd'ly tha.t he was not staying at the hotel- Mr Cha.mbarlain, for the Lioencee, said that if it was ncft for the unfortunate faot that the law was very often "a bass" The Chairman: Are you a hnvyer, Mr Cham- berlain ? Mr Ohamberiain: Yes (laughter)- Continuing, he sa-id that according toO the law a licencee was not- permitted to play billiards on his own tables alitor 11 o'clock, which was very absurd, but whioh was the law all the same. He thought that they could safely eay tihat that part of the law was oommonly disregarded. The Chairman said they considered the case proved, and the lioencee and Mr Sarson would be fined 10s each and costs.
----A PENMAENMAWE BUILDER'S…
A PENMAENMAWE BUILDER'S BANKRUPTCY. THE JUDGE AND RASH SPECULATIONS. W. Moses Jones, Fodwenand, Penniaenmawr, a partner of the firm of "Jones and Roberts, builders and contractors, Penniaenmawr," applied for his discharge in Bankruptcy at the Ba.ngor County Court, on Monday. Mr Tobias, the Assistant Official Receiver, in- formed Judge Moss that the gross liabilities ex- pected to rank as dividend amounted to J6546, but th-ey would probably total JB758 12s. The applicant's portion of the estate had paid a divi- dend of 6s 4d. the general dividend of the estate being Is 7d. During his bankruptcy the appli- cant's conduct had been satisfactory. The applicant-, who was represented by Mr Sam Lewis (Messrs S. R. Dew and Co.), stated that he was now employed at Brundritt's quarries. If he secured his discharge it was not his intention to secure large contracts. Mr Sam Lewis explained that the bankruptcy was due to miscalculation. The Judge said that men like the applicant ought to realise that they could not plunge into raah speculations. He attached even more im- portance to that fact than to the fact that the applicant kept no books. Hero was a case of two men entering i.nto partnership, and they signed a oontralJt to which a J34 penalty was attached, and as a rosult of that clause they were in. debted to the extent of J364, and in addition to that they kept no books. lIe would not be doing his duty to the public if he treated the case lightly, as the public must be protected against rash speculators and against men who undertook duties for which they were not fitted. As the result of the applicant's and his partner's failure many persons had suffered, tho dividend being only Is 7d. and had not the partner brought money into the estate there would have been no dividend at all. He believed that the applicant had better go on for a short time as he was at present. Mr Lewis asked the Judge to make an order, suspending it. for two years. The Judge: I will adjourn the application in- definitely. Tltat will enable you to apply again Later.

Marks (Messrs Marks and Marks) ap- peared to pnmseoute on benaif of the police, and Mr Ellis Jones Griffith, M.P. (instructed by Messrs W. Jaokson, Oliver Jones, Bell and Co-, Liverpool) appeared for the defence- Mr Marks, in opening the case, said that oil tb& Sunday in question, shortly after nine o'clock in the evening, the defendant waa seen drivin-I a motor cxr along the paradl3 at a sp-oed which, it was contended, W;),5 dangerous to th.3 putilx; The car was noticed by two police constables, and two independent witness- es- One oi the constables called upon the d-rivor to stop, but he took no notice and went crv. The officer, however, succeeded ill taking the number of the oar. P.C. (29) John Williams said ho was stand- ing mc-ar the Queen's Hotei when he saw the motor car coming from the vicinity of the Grind Hotel. As the car approached him he shouted, but the dirivcr increased the speed. He than took the number oi the car- He estima- ted the speed at whioh the car was travelling at about 25 miles an hour, but it afterwa.rde in- creased to 30 milejS an hour- Ho considered the spaed to be very dangerous to the public, as there were a great many people about at the time- During the whole of tlie time t.he car was ucxtar his observation he never beard a horn sounded onco. A CONSTABLE PUT TO THE TEST. In crosseamination by Mr hills Jor-es Grif- fith, witness said the car was running silently. He considered 10 or 12 miles an hour a rea- sonable fjpeed to travel through the town. There were two good lamps on the front of the oar. The officer said' he estimated that the car travelled 445 yards in 30 seconds. Ho had measured the distance, but judged the time memtally. Counsel then took out his watch, and said he would tetst the consitabie'a ability to esti- mate half a minute- "One, two., three, and off," said Mr Griffith. After a breathless silence witness called out "That's it, within two ÐDoond", of the half minute. In reply to further questions, witness said there were many people on the Parade at the time. Ho could not say whotlber the driver of the car saw him or not when he shouted. P.C. W. p. Williams (58) said he saw the car cominig along at a (speed which he esti- mated to be about 25 to 30 miles an hour- There were a good many people crossing the road at the itime- The car was well lighted. Cress-examined, witness said the oar was mak- ing a considerable noise at the time. He cal- culated t.he &peed as it passed him, but had no stop watch. Jonathan Higginbottom was called, and said that from the first time !he saw the ca.r he kept an eye on it, as it was goin gait a great speed. He thought that the claver would slacken down when he came up to the ten mile epee-d Limtit on the Parade, bu.t he did not. The car was travelling at 30 miles an hour, and there were several people about at the time. Cross-examined, witness said he was secre- C,r,oc tary to the locai Cab Drivers' Association, but lie was not prejudiced against motor cars. He wias not certain whether this was the car he sa.w as he had nothing to clio with its identi- fication. J ames Garrett stated that be thought t,he oar was travelling at a speed of 30 miles an hour- Inspector Owen sitated that he had seen the car ouitaide the Grand Hotel on the day in question, and had taken the, number of it- THE DEFENCE. Mr Griffith then oailed the defendant, who said tihat he iiiaid driven motor oar." for many years and had covered thousand? of miles. He had been in Llandudno hundred's of time. and had never boon cautioned or any complaint made against his driving. On the day in question lie left the Grand Hotel about nine o'clock, and proceeded along the Tirade, and when IhaJif way down he noticed a constable bend down and take the number of the car, but mad's. no sign. He did not see anyone else in the roadway. No one gave him a.ny warning to stop. The car was making a noise as it went a'lonig- ILhere were three brakea on the car, whi-dh be could pull up inside its own length. He did not think that there was the slightest danger to anyone. He contended that the car was not going faster than eight or teoi miles an hour. ross-exarnined, witness said ho purchased the car about 16 months ago, it being- a 28 hon-ie-power car with a maximum speed of 45 miles an hour. On the duv in question he was on his way to BromSxuough, and intended call- ing to see some friends at St- Asaph. He thought that the four witnesses for the prose- cution had got a false impression of the speed. Ambrose Oongrove said he was in the car at the timi3 with Mr Johnson going along the in the direction of tbe Little Orme's Head. The ca,r was under perfect control, and oould be pulled up in a distance of twelve fee4 He thought t.hey were travelling at about nine to eleven miles an hour. He d'id not see a policeman at all Qn the way. He was an ernginear, and had studied motor cars ever since they camo into existence, and had been driving cars for the past six years. Mr Ellis Jones Griffith then addressed the court for the defence. contendCng that the fact that one .gcnitceman had conu- down from Lon- don and the other from Liverpool to defend tihe caso afforded annple proof t-hat they honestly believed they were not guilty of tfne offenoe. It was exceedingly difficult to gauge the speed1 01: a motor car- According to the learned counsel one cf the police witnesses had given times and distances covered which worked out at 150 miles an hour. Neither of the police witnesses were experts in the mat- ter of judging speed. No evidence had been brought forward to prove that there was any- one on the road allong which motor cam; was travelling, and1 he tli,re,-ore contended that the witnesses for tihe defence should be believed- HEAVY PENALTY. The Chairman (after consultation) sa.id that. the Bandh had considered the evidence, and found it difficult to reconcile it, but they must go with the weight o' witnesses- The defend/ant would therefore be fined L10 and costs.

The oceond of the present 8&ries of lectures, promoted by the Llandudno Town Improvement Association, was given at the Grand Theatre, on Friday evenng, when Mr Spencer Leigh Hughea delivered a racy leoture. entitled "Par- liamont from the Press Gallery." The attendance was .not an large ap might have been desired, but the audience, however, were appreciative, and included at least one M.P., who appoared to be thoroughly enjoying the lec- turer's humorous descriptions of life at the Corn- mot!.1?. Dr. Dalton, J.P., pnkiided, and in his opening remarks s-d he regretted the lecturce. this year were not h<ng patronised tOO well as last year. Ho, however. sincerely hoped that the remain- ing two lecturoi, of the series would be better patronised (applause). Mr Hughes, who was accorded a hearty recep- tion, tb."n proceeded with his lecture. The Press GaTlery, he stated, was situated just beneath the Ladies' GaJ'.cry, in the House of Commons, there- fore, tihe journalists were a little lower than the angels. Having paid oomplimentairv tributes to past ornaments of the Press Gallery, namely, Charles Dickens, Ba.ron AlderEcin (grandfather of Lord HlLgh .), Lord Russo.t of Knlowen. Sir Edward Clarke, etc., he proceeded to describe the life behind the Foenes in the Press quarters, remarking that he had filled the dual capacity ef Chairman of the Lobby Pressmen's Club, and Secretary to the Gallery Club. Mr Hughes next ga.ve a humorous description of the htitrable pri- vate member-his first appearance in the House, frantic attempts to catch the Speaker's eye. etc., and followed with some reference to the House of Lords. Haying spoken for nearly two hours, he onndluded with a graphic description of Mr Gladstone's last appearance in the HOUb-ø of Commons. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr Hughes upon tho proposition of Dr. Dalton.
